I finally finished knitting my Kaari pullover just in time for the snow storm we had over the weekend. In true Kansas style, everything melted and we have sun again one day later. The pattern I used is by Norah Gaughan, and I love it. I wish I would have made one size smaller because it's a tad too big, but it is very comfy. My obsession with knitting has reached new heights, and I've already started my next project. Oh, and I have a new knitting group with my sister Mindy and sister-in-law June! We knitted together while watching The Incredibles on Friday. I also taught Joe how to knit, and sometimes we knit together while watching Deadwood. Don't tell anyone! Haha. He's going to be a surgeon, so it's good practice for improving dexterity, right?

cute sweater! i am jealous of anyone who has the patience for knitting, because i do NOT. and i love that joe is knitting with you. he would kill me for spilling the beans, but my boyfriend needle felted with me a few weeks ago. it's nice when they can appreciate your hobbies! keep up the good work.

You're so clever! I love the pullover, and the colour is so lovely and perfectly knit. Fancy being a beginner and making something like this. I tried to knit a hat last year and concluded I was too impatient to be a knitter. Your pullover makes me want to have another go.

That looks FANTASTIC! I'm super-impressed. It doesn't look too big at all, actually. And, if it makes you feel better, I've been knitting for 9 years and still have the "wish I'd knit a size smaller" problem. And, on that note of confidence w/my knitting skills, I'd like to mention that I'm part of a (very small) knitting group in Brooklyn and I'm sure we'd love to have you join us when you have to leave your lovely group in Kansas.

I'm really happy that you made this sweater! (I never started). Yes, It's really gorgeous! About the fit, it's good too. It should look comfy and it does. Can't wait for your next project..and Joe's! Ha!Happy knitting.
